Hardy Ornamental Shrubs—Continued 
BEBBEBIS THENBEEGIA (Japan Barberry)—There is 
no shrub in existence so generally planted or more 
practical for all purposes where beautiful foliage effect 
is desired than this. It is dwarf growing, uniformly 
bushy and rounded form, susceptible to formal prun¬ 
ing, with small, numerous leaves densely covering the 
thorny twigs. These give it paramount importance 
for use as edging for shrubbery groups; as a founda¬ 
tion screen in front of porches, and, above all, as a 
compact, impassable, hardy, low hedge for confining 
lawns or dividing properties. Autumn paints the 
foliage crimson-scarlet and bronze, and studs the 
branches with crimson fruit which hangs on all 
winter. Price, each 25c; per 10, $1.75; per 100, $15.00. 
RED LEAF BARBERRY (Atropurpura)—A shrub of 
medium height, with distinctly red foliage. An exact 
reproduction of the Japan Barberry in leaf and fruit 
formation. The scarlet berries persist throughout the 
winter. A valuable plant to give color in landscape 
work. Needs sunny exposure to retain the red leaf. 
Price, strong 2-year plants, each 35c; per 10, $3.00. 
BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush)—One of the most desirable 
summer flowering shrubs, beginning to bloom in July, 
it continues until cut by frost. The flowers are of a 
pleasing shade of violet-mauve and borne in dense 
cylindrical spikes from 12 to 15 inches in length by 3 
inches in diameter. It succeeds everywhere and 
flowers the first season. Very fragrant, attractive to 
butterflies, hence its name. Semi-herbaceous, as it 
usually kills down during the winter, but springs from 
the root four or five feet in height and blooms full. 
Price, each 35c; per 10, $3.00.
